Explore the geology and ecology of western Norway! From Mountain to Fjord is an environmental course focusing on interdisciplinary natural science with a main emphasis on the geology and ecology of Western Norway.

Molecular Sciences has in recent years emerged as a field somewhat broader than Chemistry, as its activities include methods and technologies which previously were linked to e.g. physics and biotechnology. Molecular Sciences includes the analysis of molecules at all levels, ranging from physical properties, through chemical reactivity, to interactions in larger assemblies, such as in a biological cell.

Applied Ecology is a field within ecology that puts the science of ecology into practical use to address contemporary challenges. This includes the application of ecological concepts to environmental problem solving, policy, and management including the sustainable use and management of biological resources and services such as wildlife, fish, and forest. 

The Master's program in Biomedicine will shed light on contemporary problems and methods in biomedicine. You will be trained in experimental work as well as written and oral presentations of independent scientific papers.

The PhD program in Engineering Science covers fields of study at all institutes within the faculty. Our researchers and research groups collaborate directly with industry and other research environments. We integrate sustainable principles in the development and improvement of technologies and solutions, including, but not limited to; energy and efficiency, building and infrastructure, production and logistics, product design, geometric analysis and computations.

The PhD program in Science offers research education in several disciplines, including physics, geosciences, computer science, chemistry, technology, mathematics, statistics, bio-informatics, and molecular- and structural biology. The candidates will be able to work with research on a high international level after graduation. The program includes components teaching the candidates to consider options regarding the potential of innovation and commercializing their ideas.

In the master's program in speech therapy, you immerse yourself in difficulties with language, speech, voice and swallowing. There is an ever-increasing need for speech therapists in the special educational offer for children and adults, and the value of this competence in society is therefore great. As a speech therapist, you can get a job either in the education sector, the health sector or in research and development. In this master's program, you will be qualified to prevent, map, diagnose, treat and research communication difficulties that are either developmental or that arise as a result of illness or injury.

The master in Environmental Science integrates physical and biological sciences, the study of the environment and the solution of environmental problems. It gives you the knowledge you need to contribute to a better future.
